Im not sure, i got mine from Benzworks a local tuner near me, i didnt get them from that site. I think thats where Tommy bought his. I believe mine were around $50 for the whole set. You might want to ask Phi also, i believe he bought his online somewhere...

Sounds like you could get a much better deal elsewhere, as ROLLLLLLLNNNNNN said.

Are you high?
If you but M12 x 1.5 studs, you get M12 x 1.5 nuts.
You can get nuts anywhere. Evasive Motorsports is a good start. Just need to make sure that you get the right seats, tapered or ball, to match your wheels.

lol tommy. Yes, i get lugs to match the studs. The question is, can you get lugs w/ different sized ball seats? I need R14 to fit my cls wheels while w203s have standard R12. I have looked and failed to find different sized ball seats.
So, lemme clarify my question: where may I purchase R14 lug nuts w/ m12x1.5 threads?
Also: what lengths for the studs do yall suggest? Phister/Rollnnn, yall should create an official stud conversion thread :x
Thanks!

Track-Studs has 'em. (I think - you could call them to confirm)

Though maybe I should stop answering your questions, since only ROLLNN and Phister know anything about this subject.
BTW - mine are 75mm, and barely stick out from my stock C7 17x7 rims without spacers. Which means that they would be inside my 18x8 OZ summer rims w/spacers on the rear when I switch out my rims next month.

lol @ tommy.
Maybe the THREE of you can get together and create a cohesive thread w/ good resources about where to purchase and suggest lengths!
For some reason, I imagine alot of people still dont quite see the value on using them, which yall could discuss also! Im sure it would be helpful. as opposed to us cluttering ROLLNNN's thread... :x
(ps thanks for the info though)

I recommend 60mm for standard size if you're not running spacers so it doesn't poke out past the wheel unless you plan on running extended lug nuts.
Tru- as for ball seats for lugs its hard to find ball seat lugs that look good. I know Honda s2000 have tuner type ball seat lugs but it uses a 19mm hex instead of the 17mm we use.
I have a 75mm race version studs with the sr48 extended lugs and locks. The extended lugs are 44mm tall.
Im doing the conversion because I'm always taking my wheels off and I'm tired of all the lug bolts sizes.
Make sure the end on your friends studs aren't too long where it'll mess up the emergency brake. some ends are longer than others they range from 11-15mm. Mine are 13mm...

ya the ones my roommate has are 11mm on the back end and 80mm total...i also ordered the sr48 so they should cover the total length...if not i ahve 3mm spacers that i used to run on the front because the guy who put my rims on said i had to have them because when my rim "expanded" due to heat they would hit my calipers which were quite close...however, i decided after a couple years that he was an idiot and took them off and just drove 14 hours from FL to VA and didn't have any problems so i think im good! lol
